And although I know exactly what you mean, Jiri would argue that your use of the term "longer leash" implies more autonomy, vs. more leeway to make a mistake without losing his job. Just a flashback to a pedantic debate from earlier in the off season.
Potentially not but if the ownership group was worried about the next phase then perhaps they would have kept Burke for another year or two to potentially hire he next GM if they feel Treliving may be replaced soon.

Having said that they could already have their minds made up that when Brad goes Conroy is taking over which wouldn’t require King trying to hire someone “off the street” again
